You had just gotten out of the shower. The temperatures had risen so much that you felt the need to take a shower to cool off a bit. You washed your hair, put on some body lotion, and tied the towel around your body as you looked at yourself in the mirror with your hair dripping onto your shoulders. A shiver ran down your spine, making you tilt your head back slightly, closing your eyes. On the other side of the room, beyond the black wooden door, was your girlfriend, who was listening to music at full volume. You were sure that if there were people around, they were hearing all that noise. You walked out of the bathroom to find Ellie lying on your bed with one leg bent as she supported herself with her elbow as she smoked a cigarette. And not just any cigarette. You looked at her with your hands on your hips, while out of breath, you approached her to snatch the cigarette from her fingers. Ellie raised her torso slightly with a wicked smile, licking her lips with a hint of challenge before moving the object away from your face.

Ellie: You shouldn't try.

Once you were close enough to the bed, her left hand brushed your hip and rested right there. She brought the cigarette to her lips, looking mischievously into your eyes.

I don't know which of my two addictions is better. You without clothes or this stuff.

She laughed, squeezing your hip, leaving the mark of her fingers on it. Then she put out the cigarette on the ashtray on your bedside table next to you. She slowly got up from the bed and walking like a predator with her prey, slow and determined, she stood in front of you, caressing your cheek with her eyes full of mischief as she brushed your lips with her own that smelled of tobacco.
